*I don't have anything that's worth a single article, so I'm condensing a few random things into a single article.*
As I was getting dressed this morning I heard my eldest son in the 'game' room, singing " wo-oh, black betty, bam-a-lam, wo-oh black betty, bam-a-lam, wo-oh black betty, bam-a-lam, black betty had a child, bam-a-lam, the darn thing gone wild, bam-a-lam..."
The kid has taste after all!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday afternoon I glanced out of my kitchen window and saw the little boy that lives down the street from me riding his toy Harley motorcycle. He was wearing a Superman cape and a pair of sunglasses and was going so fast his cape was fluttering in the breeze behind him. I wish I'd have got a picture of it....it was the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

Our neighbors moved out yesterday. It was sorry to see them go; they've been really nice to live next to. We speak to each other when we're outside at the same time and wave if we pass each other on the road - but we didn't live in each other's pockets. I learned a long time ago that being overfriendly with your neighbor can be a recipe for disaster. They went to Vegas; he got a special duty assignment working with the Thunderbirds. Whilst we were sorry to see them go, we're happy that he's got such a wonderful opportunity. I'll miss his little girls saying hi and waving to me when I'm out with the dawgs, though.

I'm going to the BX later to get something for Tex's little girl. As soon as I saw them I knew that I had to get them for her...matter of fact, I think that these things are going to be my gift for anyone who's having a baby. What are they, you ask? Well, as I'm useless at keeping a secret, I'll tell you: baby Converse sneakers. Little pink ones for baby girls, and little blue or red ones for baby boys. I want to be the person who gives these new little people their first pair of Converse.

I have a UTI. It burns when I pee and (whilst I know this is probably too much information I'm going to tell you anyway) my pee smells funny. I'm not sticking my head in the bowl and sniffing my pee, I can smell it from where I'm sitting. I'm going to try and get rid of it myself with some natural remedies, but if it's no better by Monday I'm going to the doctor. I've had kidney infections before, I know how much they suck and I don't want another one. I know how I got this UTI - again, this is probably too much info - Dave and I 'got busy' Monday night and I fell asleep shortly afterwwards. I normally get up to pee before I fall asleep, but this time I was really tired (and satisfied! heehee) and nodded off. I won't be doing that again in a hurry.

Well, thats the haps in my neck of the woods. Oh, wait.....Pseudo called me over the weekend. He's on vacation with his boys for the next couple of weeks and we knew that we wouldn't get to talk to each other much, so he called to see what's up. He's a really nice guy; he and I have found that we're very much alike and have become pretty good friends. He's even helping me work out my problems at home, and I'm very grateful for that. It's helpful to have a male perspective on things.
Now that really IS all I have to say. I'm outta here and on my way to the BX.....
